Itapeva, Municipality in São Paulo state, Brazil
Itapeva spans across 1,826 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 640 meters above sea level in southeastern Brazil.
The municipality separated from Sorocaba in 1769, initially bearing the name Itapeva da Faxina until 1910, when it became known as Faxina.
The name derives from Tupi language words meaning flat stone, reflecting the indigenous heritage and geological features of the region.
The city connects to major transportation routes through highways SP-249 and SP-258, providing access to different parts of São Paulo state.
The territory includes three distinct districts - Guarizinho, Alto da Brancal, and Areia Branca - each contributing to the municipal structure.
